Nabi Muhammad (saawa) & Imam Ali (as) praise the Persians, supporting the oppressed Ajam over Arab mustakbirin - In Safinat at‑Bihar, the following incident is mentioned under `wali: One Friday Ali (A) was delivering his sermon on a pulpit made of bricks Al‑Ashath ibn Qays al‑Kindi, one of the eminent Arab chieftains, came up and said: These red‑faced people (Iranians) have come to dominate us in your presence and you dont stop them. Then he angrily declared, Today I will show what Arabs are! Ali (A) said: These big‑bellied ones drowse in soft beds while they (the Mawali and Iranians) work hard during hot days for the sake of God. Even then they demand that I should drive them away like a tyrant. By God, Who split the seed and created man, I have heard from the Prophet (S) of God, saying : By God, even as you in the beginning will fight Iranians with your swords for the sake of Islam Iranians will afterwards fight you with their swords in the way of Islam.
